Kuwl...... MH FC 8000 EVO + 6 Plants

[Kuwl]

4 Weeks in Flower Today.

Going with the flow, not much happening.
I increased the Bloom amt. to 10ml per gal.
I did that cause they show no signs of any burn at the time.
I figured they could take it and they did with only a very slight tip burn.
I also up'ed the Diamond Nectar and Kool Bloom liquid to 5ml per gal. each.
5/4/4/10/5/5
cm/m/g/b/dm/kb

Lowered the light to 88%, they are stretching into it.
I am scared of too much light causing the dreaded seeds by way of light stress.
By week 6 it should be down to 80% if not sooner, then down a lil bit by bit till harvest.

White Truffles is a beast!
I measured her girth, it was 30" and 30" high from the top of the pot.
She takes up a ton of real estate and bushy as heck!
I have picked a lot of leaves to give the lowers some day light but
it's a lost cause, they come back in force.
A very leafy plant and so is SDH. I can't keep up with them. haha.
The smaller WT doin' ok but smaller and less bushy, doin' fine but not as robust, less flowers too.
Tangi-Dream, SHLJ and Runtz are doing very well also.
Here's some pic's from my Sony DHS camera, I just got new batteries and a new sim card for these pics.

Work area making it easier to load up the 2 gal buckets. Rez Tank #1 eats 2 gal. + per day.

White Truffle staulks. Right one is older and much larger than little sis on the left.
More WT

Celebrating 5 weeks in Flower !
With no problems at all and I just jinxed myself haha
Knock on Wood, there, fixed it.

Plants look healthy.
Buds are starting to fill in.
I did trim a lot of the bottom under brush that was growing wild near the base.
I usually do that earlier but decided to skip it and now got to trim up the mess. .

Loaded up the Rez Tanks #1/#2 to the top to give me a break from fillin' every day.
5/3/3/10/4/4

I did some waffling back n forth about the light intensity last week and decided to
turn them back up to 100%, idk, I think that will be better for now.
Waiting till week 6-7 when the buds start to really form and get bulky.
Then the light will steadly go down.
RH is between 40%-50% Temp 80 degrees.
When the hummi goes higher I'll turn on the 8: fan.

Still foolin' around with this Sony DSC-H50 camera
I took these in Landscape mode

White Truffles from pole to pole

That's Runtz in the far corner standin' tall

Sun Daze Haze

Tangi-Dream bottom center and SHLJ between Runtz and WT in the back.

More T-D

Weather is breaking here with tons of snow melting, in the mid to high 30's all week.
I cleaned the snow out the Catio yesterday and opened it up for them for a few hours.
I'm gonna get spring fever haha
Sugar buddy's getting bigger by the day it seems.
By the end of the month, I'm thinking.

Hey, nice crop. You're doing well with the GH nutes, I switch to KoolBloom dry aft week 6 flower ( as recommended by Gh) at just 1/4 tsp/gal. Its a bit expensive to buy but at only 1/4 tsp/gal for 2 weeks in flower it lasts for quite a white.

Mine still have 24 hr access out to their house but they're not out there much or for long. They tip toe through the snow and have / had made a nice tunnel about 5 ft long, its melted now but for 1 day I guess Qnight walked through the snow to his house out there and left 3/4s of a tunnel, then it froze solid on the wire fencing. All gone now it warmed up a lot the last few days it was kinda of a luge sled tunnel.

I'd love to have 1 Kitten...not..??? 4-5-6 but wife is still a hard no for more. it'll be fun for a while if you let them run free...lol...curtains,pant legs couches...yep sorta like cockroaches for a while crawling everywhere. I'm too old for all that but you have fun will ya...lol

My daughter is taking one, that's a start lol
I have my hands full with these 7 cats + one big dog!
Cleaning the 3 kitty litter boxes are so much fun!

No car yet but weather is breaking good so far. If it coninues i can ride the bike.
I seen a lot of bikes and scooter's out today on my walk to the store.
I'm old, will wait a lil longer for the sidewalks to clear.

I did pretty good with the Athena nutes but felt it could have finished better and prob would if
I brought some more of their additives, I guess.
So far I like the GH nutes and this system better.
I'll check back to last grow post to see what the 5 wk pic's look like.

I like the larger pots and might buy 3 more for my next grow.
The WT's I have in that 6.6g pot got a lot bigger than any of the other plants.
Way more bud and stretch.

Only 3 litter boxes for all those cats? We use 3 for 3 cats and its a chore keeping it clean, Twice a day we clean them. Fking litter boxes 50lbs. Its okay when there's no snow I can drive right up to my porch but now with the snow I can't get within 50 ft over an icy path and carrying them is a pain in the back.

Ya I think most of the nutes companies liquid products are very similar they just make them up a bit differently and what ever you get used to will work well. I've never used anything but GH products I know nothing of others.

I was just playing with Qnight and he chewed me up 4 bleeding claw holes and teeth marks in my right arm. He just went wild in....fun???... once he let loose he bolted but ouch I put some antibiotic stuff on them. Hes fine, thought nothing of it it seems...fkin Cats ...eh?

yep just 3 and it seems ok but I do have to clean them more often than before haha.
One large one in my bathroom anexed to my room with a top to keep the oders down.
One large in the spare room upstairs and one medium one in the cellar (new cats do not like the litter box tops).
I use scoopable clumpy kitty litter that comes in 40 lb. boxes luckaly delevered from walmart.
3 of the cats are not full grown yet lol
Shady my black beauty is like that but not lately. I think he is not happy with the new arrivals.
He used to claw me up pretty good when he got yippee.
Panda will do that too but not as often.
Try rough playing with a American Bully hahahaha now that's some Raptor play!
She likes to pinch me with her canines, when she plays. ouchy!

I started with Botanicare and when I got the AP's I switched to Dyna-Gro cause it was cleaner.
I think I'm done with switching.
I think I've got the growin' part down pretty good but now I will be tested.
It's the last few weeks plus the finish that I screw up on lately.
I'm hoping this time I'll be better at it.


Bella, one of the Twins Tabbies, usually Sugar jumps up here bothering me when I'm on the puter and rubs her face on mine

 

[Kuwl]

Snow's melting and the cellar is getting little rivers running to the drain.
That means my humidity is going up.
Turned on the de-huey today as RH was above 50%.
Turned the light down to 95%, I seen some leaves twisting on one plant stalk
Still eating at a good rate.
Finally some burnt leaf tips! Prob the extra Bloom I put in.

Some more pic's I took with my phone cam.
I think the White Truffles will come down first cause the pistils are getting brown already.

It was unusualy quiet this morning.
One of the cats, Panda or one of the twins wake me up.
Not this morning, no cats running in and out of my room.
I got up, got my coffee and seen Kay Kay looking into the cube with interest.
Since no cats go in the cube bottom, I thought it wierd.
Then Sugarbuddy got out and I noticed a dif in her gerth!!!!!!
OMG I ran an got wifey, we looked in and what do you know, Sugar is a mommy!!!
4 kittens lay in there while she ate some well deserved treats.
Look like 3 Tabies and 1 black kitty so far.
I am over the moon!!!!!!!!!

 

[Pipecarver]

4 babies to have fun with.....very cool....We'd love to have another black baby kitten .....or I should say I would wifey says No fkin way...cute, but not a chance...lol

Our boys are house bound now, snow covered the ramps, only Qnight has ventured out into it and not for long. We got another couple of inches last night then it rained a bit.

Well congratulations with the new family, it will be fun for a while, then the curtains, legs,beds couches will be crawling with the little fur balls...I chuckle as I think about it...Have fun with them. I have some envy in my soul.....but a sigh of relief its you not me....lol

Oh it will be a lot of fun for a while but they got to go!
Problems started already.
Yesterday before she had the kittens, Sugar started shit with all the cats and the dog too.
She started to hiss and attack them, except for KK he is her baby, in her mind.
This was earlier in the day, yesterday.
Now she is in protection mode with most of the animals here.
KK, Bela and Ghost it seems they are ok with her and she don't hiss at them.
My wife says Ghost is a male but I don't think so.
We hatched a plan to corner her and do a check.
Only 4 kittens so far but google says she could have more after even a day later.
Hope not. Wifey is not happy. She don't like Sugar attacking Sky.
She had her kittens in my room, inside the cube at the foot of my bed.
I have my hands full with a mad wife and a batch of kittens with a mad mommy.
I know it's pretection mode but wifey seems to not understand.

I was down cellar in the room took these to see how it going.

No don't got it here but daughter is going to help out.
She will take one and the other 3 should go quick.
New fkn prob
News Flash................Ghost is a male
Not the bad news
Bela is preggy
oh fk
Ghost has to go
He's getting the boot tomorrow, it's sad but can't have a feral male in here.
I'm not happy with this but maybe he can live in the shed shelter I made.
It's just shitty and i blame myself for not checking ghost later in life to make sure.
We should have forced tammed him from the get go but too late now, damage is done.
She's fit to be tied about Sugar also ( attacking her dog ). She might go as well.
It's a mess.

Eh I slept on it and am thinking we should try to see if the vet will fix a feral cat.
Ya Bela/Ghost kittens will be $ idk I'm still spinning from my Daughter's assesment of Bella's condition.
If Ghost gets fixed along with KK we should be ok.

I'd hate to see you get rid of Ghost, after all the work you've done to get him to be a house cat. I understand...lol can't have a young buck screwing all the fems in the house but you understand his desire his to do so. When I was younger....well we won't go there....lol....if I was younger.....lol...okay I'll stop.

Just build a giant cattio in your back yard....with an escape hatch, one way only, once out they're out for good then you could let him have atter

Well we tried.
Opened the catio up and watdayakno Ghost scooted right out there.
I closed the bathroom window so he can't get in.
Then went outside and opened the catio door, he hissed.
I went back into the house and waited...................................
We had to go pick up scripts thinking he would be gone by the time we got back.
Seen a black cat in the yard then hopped up on our wooden fence and sat there.
I thought Ghost would follow it. Nope.
We got back from the pharmacy and ................................................ still there sitting in the corner.
Aaarrrrggggg!!!!

So we let him back in.
The reason we wanted to let him go back into the wild is he would no doubt find the pantry cat door and would live in the pantry.
But no he would not leave us, same as when he was a kitten and tried to let him leave with the back door open. He would not leave then either.

Fact is, it would cost $700 to fix a feral cat says the vet, we called.
$500 for KK that we really have to get done too.
I really don't have the cash for that.
I will have to charge kk's nueter but idk about Ghost.
I tried to get near and he hisses and bars his teeth at me.

Baring his teeth primarily signals intense aggression, hostility, or a readiness to fight, often mimicking an animal's snarl to threaten or intimidate.

Check with your local shelter or Friends of Animals for a better deal on spay/neutering.

Fk that vet, It surprised me that a feral cat would be more expensive so I googled of course

Fk that vet, It surprised me that a feral cat would be more expensive so I googled of course View attachment 126024

ya a couple of things to do that I forgot.
Shelters do spaying for cheaper, so will call them Mon.
Most of the vets around are brought up by corp that increase the cost.
Its been awhile used to be $180, prices have increased since.
Only 2 vets near us, one says we have to bring in the cat, they don't do quotes on the phone which
tells me they are bonkers expensive.

Apreciate the help, will have to look into non profits like "10 lives club".
Might have to buy a trap to get him haha I'm a lil' gun shy. I been bit and shredded before lol.
My future son in law says he can grab him for me.
He's a cat guy and has no fear I guess, lol ah, I remember when I had no fear too about 50-60 years ago.

$400 for spaying and another $120 for 1st office visit to give a check up and shots. (distemper, etc.)
And another $100 or so for a shot to calm it down. I think that is what they said at our Vet (Ford animal hosp).
That's the extra expense my wife told me. I called to double check for KK and yep $520
They are really good people and always good to us.
I guess prices went up since last we were in there, before the pandemic hit.
I am def calling the SPCA Mon. it would be a great help if they can do Ghost.
I'll do what I can.

Ya it surprised me that it was so expensive, I wasn't doubting your quote I just wondered why it would cost more. I think our cat Dusky was under $200 Canadian, thats what? about $50 bucks USA...lol...$500 would be too much for a lot of folks, us included $700??? we'd have 3 horny boys in the house cause theres no way in hell we'd of paid that to get our boys snipped.....Good luck, I'd like to hear that you're keeping him, he has an interesting history behind him with you. ....and some descendants to play with......Good boy, fkem all until you get snipped......or married.....sigh.

Exchange rate is nuts that’s too funny!

I don’t think I have a choice of keeping him he won’t leave ha ha we don’t have the heart to just toss him out and I believe my wife agrees she is more concerned about sugar because of the attacks as she calls them on sky, but really it’s just posturing. She just had babies and she’s not happy that there’s a dog in the house.
I’ll figure it out and get her done.

We took a good look at KK and he’s gotta go get his snipped ASAP. There’s one female sissy. I can’t tell if she’s pregnant yet, I’ll have to wait another week.

My set up includes the MarsHydro FC 8000 EVO with 800w, it's a beast.
Right now it's turned down to 89% and going down 1% a day till it hits 80% and maybe down to 75%
Two sets of side lights stuck into the plants cause I am having a hard time figureing out how to mount them.
One set is MH-Adlite I think n the other is AC infinity
MY Auto Pot System has 2 x 12 gallon reservoirs and 5 pots ( 4 x 3.9g + 1 x 6.6g pots )
I use an aquarium wave maker in both rez tanks.
Also a aquarium air pump oxygen bubbler with air lines going inside the bottom of the pots (air to roots)
Spider Farmer 6" exhaust fan that blows everything into the chimney, no smells in house just in the room.
2 fans ( 1 x 6" and 1 x 4") The larger blows against the wall the smaller blows threw the lower branches and leaves.
One standard oil heater keeps the room toasty and a 20qt. Dehumidifier to keep down moisture.
It's a 6.5' x 9.5' insulated cellar room with plastic tile flooring for drainage and to keep pots off the cement floors.
I use Sunshine mix #4 with a bit of compost and worm casting and bat guano for a soil mix.
Using General Hydroponic's nutrients ( Micro, Grow, Bloom + Diamond Nectar ) and KoolBloom Liquid n also dry near the end.
I use a MarsHydro icontrol and keep track of things in the app.
I wish I had more automatic controls especially for the fans, maybe next grow.
Gotta go fix dinner! Home made Chicken fingers tonight yaaaeee!

To get my mind off things I was trying out my camera and took some pic's.
